The UVA School of Architecture and the A-School Young Alumni Council are looking for alumni volunteers to be a point of contact and mentor to our A-School students. For our 2023-24 A-School Alumni Mentorship Program (our fourth year of this program), we will be continuing with small mentorship "pods" - bringing together 2-3 alumni and 2-3 students, all with varying experiences and opinions, for the academic year. We encourage monthly virtual meetings but the dynamic of the small group will hopefully evolve and change to best meet the needs of the pod.
All of the student mentees have opted-in to this program and are eager to build a strong network and community. We don't expect you to have all the answers (nor a job to give) but a friendly voice to talk to about the professions, about your path, about their work, or simply some moral support would go a long way. It takes some time on everyone's part but the impact is huge.
We will match students and alumni by October 2023. If you have any questions, please contact
kimwong@virginia.edu. THANK YOU!
